What Happens if a Minor Rapes an Adult?

I didn't see much on the internet about this, so I thought I would ask here.

Normally if an Adult has relations with a minor, the adult is automatically charged with rape because the minor cannot legally give consent.

So I was wondering, what would happen to the adult if they get raped by a minor?

Would they still be charged?

  • They would get charged, but they might get reduced sentence for being minor, anyway it's rarely happen, as minors, tend to be weaker, more innocent, and not having such an sexual interest in adults, especially very old adults, people get weaker when they are too old, but they get much less attractive along with it.

  • I assume you're talking about a case where someone under the legal age of consent uses force or threats to have sex with a non-consenting individual who is over the age of consent.

    The older victim is not charged, assuming those facts are understood. The minor would be charged, potentially as an adult, for the crime.

    • Yes that's what I'm talking about

  • It'd get treated like any rape case, except the minor would not be named. I've heard of many cases of it, if it did happen to you or someone you know please go to the police with the clothes you were wearing hopefully you/person haven't washed them , they will want to do body swabs and take photos of any marks/bruises/cuts on the body as well.

    • You have heard of a minor assaulting an adult?

    • Yes , many people haven't that's why a television programme in the UK did a story line on it to promote awareness that anybody not matter what the age can be raped/rape others. People should not be ashamed/scared in the fact that they have been over powered by a minor or any other person.

    • So then the adult is safe and doesn't get charged in these cases?

  • No wtf, why would the adult go to jail? They did not consent.

    The minor should get punished according to the law.

    • That's what should happen but I couldn't find an answer to this. Has me so confused lol. All I know is any sexual act between a minor and an adult is considered sexual assault. Hopefully we can get a good answer here!

  • Depends on the circumstances... but I bet they would prove that it was a fake rape. IF they didn't think it was rape, she would probably go to child detention, Juvenal prison.

  • what i'm wondering is how is the guilt determined. how do you prove that the minor is the one who raped. because if you don't then it's automatically statutory rape

  • He is also charged & has been handover to minor prisoners home..

  • I've never heard of such case.

    • But I wouldn't mind if some 17 years old girl wanted to rape me :P

    • 17 is past the age of consent in most countries, but lets say it's 18 in your case. You would go to jail for her raping you.

    • Then it wouldn't be rape, and you'd be charged.

  • Yes.

    • How do you know? Can you add more information?

    • We were forced to watch some assembly in 9th grade that was all about relationship abuse and that was one if the facts they gave us in it.

    • Seriously? That's wrong if it's true... That means a minor can rape an adult, and the adult goes to jail.

  • Adult goes to jail.

    • How do you know?

    • I saw a documentary where a 14 yr old girl drugged a guy then had sex with him and the guy went away for statutory rape.
